Seeing them (and the documentary) Friday in Montreal, can't wait.
Why are they so tryhard?
Why didn't they make normal music instead?
Not what they used to be but still interesting, and you gotta applaud that they keep experimenting.

>tryhard
Normal is boring and everywhere already, we don't need more of it.
The 4xCD EuroRalph version of this is all you'll ever need.

>>64160133
Check 'em
But yeah, everything up to Mark of the Mole is pretty essential, + God in Three Persons. Black Barry on Cube E is noteworthy.
Of the recent stuff, Demons Dance Alone and Bunny Boy are great.

I'm really trying to figure out what their costumes mean in relation to their message
I get the feeling the skull mask is representative of death or evil shadow gov etc and the eyes are like your third eye or everyday people? they're not just a Dadaist band they have an idea about what it means, I think it's most obvious in duck stab
This group makes me want to kill myself, is that normal?
>>64160479
if you're a retard yes.
>>64160440
I think you're overthinking the costumes, also the eyeballs only made their appearance from Eskimo on.
The Skull represents mourning at having one of the eyeball masks stolen during a tour.
>>64160493
I am not though, wat do?
>>64159990
>tryhard
That's the one criticism I would not ascribe to the Residents. If anything, they didn't try hard enough.
>>64160551
Keep listening, they're creepy but it grows on you.
Not Available is the best one
>>64160705
That or Fingerprince.
>>64159963

>>64160909

>>64160944
>>64161052
It's a great chance.

Also seeing The Residents on possibly their last tour ever is a can't miss...
Its an old man
>>64161512
Yeah?
>>64161550
Yeah.
>>64160873
never really got into Fingerprince, why do you like it?
>>64161670
It's got a few of their timeless classics like "You yesyesyes" and "Walter Westinghouse", plus I'm a big fan of the Harry Partch influence like on "Six things to a cycle".

After getting a massive headache lasting weeks after just listening to Meet the Residents for a weekend, I put them on hold.
Listening to The Third Reich 'n Roll and I fucking love this rendition of Hey Jude
